The gravitational potential energy of a basketball  : PE = 18.375 J

Further explanation

Given

height = h = 3 m

mass = 0.625 kg

Required

The potential energy

Solution

The energy produced from its position is called potential energy (PE)  

which can be formulated as:  

PE = m. g. h (g = 9.8 m/s²)

Input the value :

PE = 0.625 x 9.8 x 3

PE = 18.375 J
